Here's another thing about SINTERKLAAAAASS! For years 4 and up, the whole class (in school or as in family or as in strangers, in my case my class) has to get presents for each other (very much like Christmas), instead of Old Saint Nick, getting them for us. In my case, it goes like this.
We all have to fill in an application: what we want for Sinterklaas, our name (obvi!), (sometimes) what our personality is like, (sometimes) what we like to eat and so on, so on.
Then we all put our applications in a pile, and draw lots. We then all have a random application. We have to keep it a secret, to contain the EXCITEMENT! We get what they want (under $15). For example (this is very risky, maybe, because if this person read my blog, he or she might know what I'll get them, and know that I drew them, as in lots, obvi!) I got my friend water colour tubes/paint/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. And Nivea lipbalm. That's exactly what she asked for under $15. Here's the twist. We then have to wrap our presents in a casing that represents any of their features. For example, I made my friend Jorne a cardboard pizza (because he likes pizza), a few years ago. Inside was this lego toy thing that he wanted. And also, I made my friend Nasirah a hospital, since she wanted to be a doctor.
I have TROUBLE making these 'surprises' (not pronounced the English way). I have no creativity in these things. For the last two/three years, my surprise creations have gone downhill. And I feel baaaaad!
Mmmhm...yep.
As for me I have received, I have honestly no idea what I received in year 3. In year 4, I got a chimney! My present was stuck inside. In year 5, I got a TV, my presents were taped on the side. And in year 6, I got stereo, with a mic (since I like singing) and the presents were inside.
If you don't understand here's a picture (found on Google, definitely not made by me, because, I...uhhh...suck at surprises):
The present would be inside the nail polish bottle (this surprise would be approximately the size of a bolster, those sausage pillows, you know?).
Bye,

I realise I've been using parentheses (a.k.a brackets, see! Parentheses, right here!) a lot! I mean A LOT! Look at this post, 24 parentheses characters! Yes I seriously counted...
